You wrote a very well reasoned and reference laden article, and I agree there are many unanswered questions about this disastrous epidemic.
I often think that perhaps we could have effectively sequestered the elderly, and the vulnerable do to health conditions in a bubble like our athletes and move crews, the rest of the country could have carried on without this huge economic disruption.
I think it’s hard to call it deadly with so many asymptomatic infections, and perhaps more appropriate to call it an opportunistic infection, deadly to the vulnerable, albeit not 100% and mostly asymptomatic or causing a flu like illness in the majority.
I think a well communicated plan of implementing precautions in crowded conditions like flu season without the draconian measures would have been much better received, less costly and would have achieved better compliance.
I will come back to this article, as there is a lot of good information and informed thought.
Thank you

Thanks @shortsegments. It was known from very early on that the elderly would be the most vulnerable to Covid-19. They should have been the focus. Locking down whole countries when the vast majority of the population are at almost no risk of dying is an insane way to approach this virus. It will be interesting to see where things go in 2021.
